Great analogy, Dan. So if you're using too much electricity in your room, you might get kicked out of your apartment.

Later thread maybe. Perhaps you could share your thoughts on the gap between the three.

The gap imo. would never be filled as a Cloud or VPS have an inclination towards the sharing of resources of a single or clustered dedicated server(s) whereas a dedicated as all know is 'Dedicated' for a single user. Yeah things would eventually keep on developing based on these structures, but the gap would still remain

Depends some Vmware style VDS can offer you more performance than a dedicated server...

cat /proc/user_beancounters
If this file exists, you are on an OpenVZ VPS

also cat /proc/cpuinfo
